The family of the late Immigration Officer, Stephen King Amoah, has threatened retaliation if any family member is harmed following the court's judgment in his ongoing murder case.

The warning came after police arrested another suspect in connection with the officer’s death.

Tensions flared outside the Adabraka District Court on Friday, August 22, as police struggled to escort the two suspects, Bright Aweh and Thomas Zigah, into custody.

Yaw Mensah, an in-law of the deceased, accused the police of shielding the suspects and warned that the family would take matters into their own hands if justice is not served.

“We will go after the suspects if any of our family members are harmed after judgment is pronounced. We have taken notice of everyone associated with the suspects. If the police keep shielding them by collecting money, we will deal with them ourselves,” Mensah stated.

In court, the case was adjourned to September 4, 2025, to allow for further investigations. A third suspect remains at large.

Zigah’s lawyer requested his transfer to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital due to health concerns, but prosecutors opposed the move, arguing the Police Hospital was sufficient.

The judge instructed the defence to file a formal application for the request to be considered.
